It could be worse. Honest. I spent a year in Malaysia and there, every phone seems to have monophonic hold music that sounds like it’s coming out of a musical birthday card. Even the taxi companies have this. My own home and office phones had it too though I tried not to subject people to it.

They all play the same song too: Oh When the Saints. I shudder just thinking about it.

Aw, c’mon — you’ve gotta admit it’s better than the original! We hear this song so much around the office it would actually get stuck in people’s head. Once that happened, it was a short leap to think “this needs a better beat”. :)
